Initial Public Offering (a) In the event that at any time after the date hereof, the Board of Directors determines that it shall facilitate an offering of Equity Securities in the Company or a successor through an Initial Public Offering, then the Board of Directors shall have the power to cause the Company to be reorganized as a corporation (such corporation or other issuer entity being hereinafter referred to as a “Public Vehicle”) under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware by incorporation, merger, conversion, contribution, formation of a corporate Subsidiary or other permissible manner (a “Conversion”), and the Members shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate such Conversion and take such actions as are reasonably necessary or desirable to complete the Initial Public Offering in a manner designed to achieve a fair price and broad public distribution of the securities being offered in the Initial Public Offering. (b) If applicable, the Members holding Units shall receive, in exchange for their Units of a particular class, shares of stock in the Public Vehicle of the relevant class having the same relative seniority, preference, accumulated dividends, dividend rate, dividend accumulation and compounding and, in the case of the Class A Units, the other characteristics of the Class A Units, voting, management and consent rights, economic interest and other rights and obligations (and in no event shall such interest, rights or obligations be less favorable to such Member than the terms of their respective Units) in the Public Vehicle as are set forth in this Agreement applicable to the Units, subject to any modifications deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors as a result of the Conversion or if advisable in order to effectuate the Initial Public Offering. (c) In such event, the Public Vehicle and the Members (in their capacities as stockholders of the Public Vehicle) shall enter into a stockholders’ agreement providing for such terms and conditions as are necessary for the rights and obligations and provisions of this Agreement that survive an Initial Public Offering (and do not otherwise adversely affect the ability to effectuate the Initial Public Offering) to continue to apply to the Public Vehicle, the stockholders of the Public Vehicle and the capital stock of the Public Vehicle, including (i) an agreement to vote all shares of capital stock held by such stockholders to elect the Board of Directors of such resulting corporation in accordance with the substance of Section 6.1, and (ii) the rights and obligations of the Members contained herein (which may, at the election of the holders of a Majority Class A Interest, be contained in the Public Vehicle’s certificate of incorporation). (d) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.8, no Member will have the right or power to veto, vote for or against, amend, modify or delay a Conversion or the Initial Public Offering. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Member hereby makes, constitutes and appoints the Company its true and lawful attorney, for it and in its name, place and stead and for its use and benefit, to act as its proxy in respect of any vote or approval of Members required to give effect to this Section 3.8, including any vote or approval required under the Act. The proxy granted pursuant to this Section 3.8(d) is a special proxy coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. (e) The Company and the Members hereby agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to structure the Conversion to maximize the ability of the Members to aggregate (or “tack”) the period during which they hold their Units together with the period during which they hold shares of capital stock of the Public Vehicle for purposes of the United States securities laws, including Rule 144 under the Securities Act. (f) Each Member (including any Transferee thereof) agrees, if requested by the Company and a managing underwriter, if any, in connection with any Initial Public Offering and upon confirmation reasonably satisfactory to such Member that all officers and directors of the Company and all holders, collectively with their Affiliates and Approved Funds, of one percent (1%) or greater of Equity Securities of the Company shall enter into similar agreements, thereby agreeing not to Transfer any Equity Securities of the Company held by it for one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of the relevant registration statement filed under the Securities Act in connection with the Initial Public Offering, as such managing underwriter shall specify reasonably and in good faith. Each Member shall enter into customary letter agreements to the foregoing effect if so, requested by the Company and the managing underwriter, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Member is released by the Company and the managing underwriter, if any, from the restrictions contemplated by this Section 3.8(f), all other Members shall be released from such restrictions pro-rata. (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the restrictions contained in this Agreement shall not apply to Units, any other Equity Securities or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Units or other Equity Securities acquired by any Member, including acquired by any of their respective Affiliates or Approved Funds, following the effective date of the first registration statement of the Company covering common stock (or other securities) to be sold on behalf of the Company in an underwritten public offering.
Not a Public Offering If you are resident outside the U.S., the grant of the Option is not intended to be a public offering of securities in your country of residence (or country of employment, if different). The Company has not submitted any registration statement, prospectus or other filings with the local securities authorities (unless otherwise required under local law), and the grant of the Option is not subject to the supervision of the local securities authorities.
Public Offering The Company is advised by you that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions of the Securities as soon after the Registration Statement and this Agreement have become effective as in your judgment is advisable. The Company is further advised by you that the Securities are to be offered to the public upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus.
No Public Offering No "offer of securities to the public," within the meaning of Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory in connection with the Restricted Stock Units. The Plan, the Agreement (including this Addendum) and any other documents evidencing the grant of the Restricted Stock Units have not, nor will they be registered with the Comisión Nacional del ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ de Valores (the Spanish securities regulator) and none of those documents constitute a public offering prospectus.
Offering Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the payment of the Registration Delay Payments pursuant to Section 2(e), in the event the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities by, or on behalf of, the Company, or in any other manner, such that the Staff or the SEC do not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and used for resales in a manner that does not constitute such an offering and that permits the continuous resale at the market by the Investors participating therein (or as otherwise may be acceptable to each Investor) without being named therein as an “underwriter,” then the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included in such Registration Statement by all Investors until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective as aforesaid. In making such reduction, the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included by all Investors on a pro rata basis (based upon the number of Registrable Securities otherwise required to be included for each Investor) unless the inclusion of shares by a particular Investor or a particular set of Investors are resulting in the Staff or the SEC’s “by or on behalf of the Company” offering position, in which event the shares held by such Investor or set of Investors shall be the only shares subject to reduction (and if by a set of Investors on a pro rata basis by such Investors or on such other basis as would result in the exclusion of the least number of shares by all such Investors); provided, that, with respect to such pro rata portion allocated to any Investor, such Investor may elect the allocation of such pro rata portion among the Registrable Securities of such Investor. In addition, in the event that the Staff or the SEC requires any Investor seeking to sell securities under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement to be specifically identified as an “underwriter” in order to permit such Registration Statement to become effective, and such Investor does not consent to being so named as an underwriter in such Registration Statement, then, in each such case, the Company shall reduce the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of such Investor, until such time as the Staff or the SEC does not require such identification or until such Investor accepts such identification and the manner thereof. Any reduction pursuant to this paragraph will first reduce all Registrable Securities other than those issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, an affected Investor shall have the right to require, upon delivery of a written request to the Company signed by such Investor, the Company to file a registration statement within twenty (20) days of such request (subject to any restrictions imposed by Rule 415 or required by the Staff or the SEC) for resale by such Investor in a manner acceptable to such Investor, and the Company shall following such request cause to be and keep effective such registration statement in the same manner as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement for registration statements hereunder, in each case until such time as: (i) all Registrable Securities held by such Investor have been registered and sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement in a manner acceptable to such Investor or (ii) all Registrable Securities may be resold by such Investor without restriction (including, without limitation, volume limitations) pursuant to Rule 144 (taking account of any Staff position with respect to “affiliate” status) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or (iii) such Investor agrees to be named as an underwriter in any such Registration Statement in a manner acceptable to such Investor as to all Registrable Securities held by such Investor and that have not theretofore been included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement (it being understood that the special demand right under this sentence may be exercised by an Investor multiple times and with respect to limited amounts of Registrable Securities in order to permit the resale thereof by such Investor as contemplated above).
